ROMA Bio Suede Desert Sand

ROMA Bio Suede Desert Sand

Our iconic ROMA slipper is now available in soft suede. Handmade in Portugal with our signature ergonomic fit, it’s designed for all-day comfort and easy slip-on wear indoors and out. The brushed suede adds a laid-back texture while the chrome-free tanning process makes it a more eco-friendly choice and keeps it gentle on your skin. Comfortable, durable and easy to style, ROMA in BIO suede is the perfect everyday companion.

Upper: Tanned Bio Suede from Portugal. Locally sourced materials support regional craftspeople.

Footbed: Carbon Step™ antimicrobial contoured footbed for superior comfort and support.

Outsole: Flexible natural rubber with excellent traction for reliable grip.

Responsibly made with LWG-certified leather from food industry by-products.

Carbon Step™: A detachable insole that molds to your foot, supporting natural movement and activating your muscles for a barefoot-like walking experience. Over time, it gently compresses to match your foot's unique shape, guiding it into a natural, neutral position.

11/14/7 Formula: Precisely engineered with 11mm heel cushion, 14mm arch support, and 7mm forefoot padding that naturally compresses to your unique foot shape.

Advanced Materials: Open-cell polyurethane maintains bounce while preventing bacterial growth and odor. Cork shank provides thermal insulation and structural support for lasting durability.

Cleaning: Brush gently with a soft suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray regularly to protect your shoes from moisture and stains.

Drying & Storage: If they get wet, stuff with newspaper and air dry away from direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place in breathable dust bags to maintain shape and prevent moisture buildup.

VIBAe shoes should feel snug at first and there is no need to leave extra free space at the end. The easiest way to put your VIBAe shoe into your feet is against the floor, push your foot all the way to the end, and only then bring up the heel.

Once you start wearing the VIBAe shoe they will stretch about half a size and the more you wear them the better they get.
